In this paper, we provide an explicit convex optimization example where training the BNNs with the traditionally adaptive optimization methods still faces the risk of non-convergence, and identify that constraining the range of gradients is critical for optimizing the deep binary model to avoid highly suboptimal solutions.

Despite the achievements of recent binarization methods on reducing the performance degradation of Binary Neural Networks (BNNs), gradient mismatching caused by the Straight-Through-Estimator (STE) still dominates quantized networks.
